bebee you've done better than me :rotfl: well done, getting anything done when kids are at school to me is an achievement in itself. Hope the party goes well.

Hair cut, now that is something I need, keep having to move my MOP to see the screen, might see if I can make appointment for when kids go back to school, coughing like this I ain't going as it'll end up wonky!

Think the oven depends how much people use it etc, I do tend to put if it needs it but haven't the last few times as someone said they used it as an excuse not to when it was actually quite bad.

I'm nearly finished my kitchen, having another break, DP being out and DS at home not keen on the idea of flaking out.

May also go to toys r us tomorrow as i noticed they are having a sale and there were a couple of things i could get as birthday presents for some of the babies i have to buy for. Perhaps some could be xmas pressies too if i get my thinking head on and maybe transfer some money from savings to cover it. (Will have to start thinking about the gift cupboard at some stage as currently it is bare)

Need to dish up tea now, and then see what else can get done.

I'm tempted to do the soak in washing powder in the bath thing in order to get the shelves clean. Does it matter what washing powder it is ?

Well not much flying done but everywhere clean and tidy so I am a happy bunny.

DD1 hosp apt went ok, she needs to have grommits fitted so just got to wait for the date to come through now. Poor love has to go for her pre-school jab tomorrow (not told her yet!!) she has had a cough and sniffles so not sure if they will do it or not?

Meant to have a look at tomorrows list but there are some bits I want to do:-

Downstairs loo - give it a good clean (loo ok as de-limescaled last fri)
Put WM on - none done today as looked like it was gonna rain
Take pork mince out for HM burgers for tea
Try to find the best £ for an 8ft trampoline with enclosure
Pay cheques into bank

Off to check what the challenge is for tomorrow.

I have a cheap bio just for this as usually use bold, well that and other cleaning jobs. Soda crystals is another option. Seeing as bathrooms tomorrow ideal time to overnight soak and clean bath tomorrow.

Shell - unsure, I've had them refuse my sons once when he was poorly but he had high temp etc aswell. Maybe best to call surgery instead of going for nothing.

Broomstick - I have a broom stick I can beat you with if you need some fear :rotfl:

Shortie hope the scan goes well remember my 20 weeks one with DS2 like it was yesterday and he's 6 now.
